DCS BIOS Help with strings & Arduino hardware / code.

[v81]

Just started investing a bit of time into DCS BIOS, it's a pretty handy bit of kit.

 

 

I have a few questions, i'll start with the short ones.

 

 

1) Re hardware, is it strictly the basic arduinos that are supported?

For example can i use a Due (ARM Cortex-M3), or an STM32 board configured into the Arduino IDE?

 

 

2) What speed does DCS BIOS communicate with the Arduino?

I see 250Kbps mentioned, correct?

 

 

3) Is there a way to get 2 simple strings, 1 ea for the entire of the first and second line of the Ka-50 PVI-800?

If not is there a way to make this happen in the Arduino?

I have to send the text to a serial connected display as a string, works great for the A-10c CDU, would love to do the same with the Ka-50.

 

 

4) Is there anything definitive coming from DCS BIOS to the Arduino that specifies the current cockpit that i could use to swap pages on my Arduino display?

eg: If F/A-18c then goto page 4

 

 

I'm struggling a bit, but making progress, any help appreciated.
